Example: Murshidabad and Nadia districts; (2) the Mature Delta, where rivers still have well-defined channels and provide some impetus for irrigation and induce drainage disposal under normal conditions. Example: Mostly the northern part of the 24 Pgs. (S), Calcutta, roughly to the north of a line joining Kakdwip with Canning; and (3) the Active Delta, where the dynamic functions of the hydrological system are more manifested. The channels and creeks are wide, deep, and well-defined; the land building is still in its current phase, in which upland flow changes regime with marine incursions. Example: Southern Basanti, Gosaba, and so on. Matla-Bidyadhari Interfluve falls under the mature and active deltaic parts, as this interfluve provides some impetus for irrigation and induces drainage disposal, as well as the dynamic functions of delta building processes in the hydrological systems are manifested here.

But with the transformation of natural lives to technical lives, the soil diversity has also been damaged over which the plant diversification mainly relies upon which are guided by the natural parameters of the atmosphere. Soil pH has been changing rapidly due to unscientific or forceful projects for accommodating the surplus population of the future world. This Geo- Botanical study has attempted to find a direct link if exists between soil pH as a major parameter in plant diversification and plant distribution as well. Hypothesis has been built up on the basis of some earlier sample surveys and it has tried to search for rapid deterioration on the plant diversification in the Labpur Community Development (C.D.) Block of Birbhum District in West Bengal, engal, India as a model one which enjoys the fluvio-geomorphological environment of some major and micro river basins and was earlier a land of lush green with unique biodiversity as known from the earlier British records. This study aims to find out the Geographical as well as Botanical factors working behind the degradation in plant diversity and find out some ways to reduce the biological vulnerability of this region. Key words: Soil pH, Plant diversification, River basin, Rarh, Fluvio- geomorphological Environment

Land reclamation programmes initiated by the British in Sundarbans not only let them get new and new agricultural lands but new and new economic sources also were being introduced from time to time over this incomplete deltaic region of Sundarbans. Time is the major factor which controls the development of active delta to be a mature one and a mature delta to be a moribund one. For this reason only, the local people of this delta couldn't find to maintain their simple livelihood as impact of embankments on changing fluvio-geomorphological environment is still absent in their mind, that mind which made the idea of making of embankments to secure their life from floods as well as to develop pisciculture. There are yet many researches to come in front to overcome the crude problem of this delta. This article has mainly highlighted the changing fluvio-geomorphologic...

The dynamic character of the tidal rivers of this delta has been typically responding which is becoming too intangible to the planners. It is very much unfortunate to all of us when we exploit the deltas like Sundarbans to meet our daily needs in response to the population growth years after years without any return. So, this is the time to stop a while and think over the effects of past human activities on nature and to make plan for the establishment of an ecologically balanced nature. Is it possible to give Sundarbans a little chance to develop by its own natural way? The authors hope that this book will surely earn its most desired value which would be tribute to the villagers of Indian Sundarbans. This book will surely invite and encourage the young geographers or researchers from v...

Man, since his initial inhabitance in this part of West Bengal, has always overexploited these blessed tidal rivers who have all-time gifted hectares and hectares of fertile floodplains and jungles for easy and smooth livelihood. But side by side, man misunderstood their natural gift and tried to capture their natural activities to gain more and more. Ultimately these natural agents like tidal channels khals, creeks have either decayed due to the inhuman activities with them or changed their hydrological character to cope up with the present awkward fluvio-geomorphological conditions.
